We play and sing Christmas carols and of course each nativity set in my collection finds a special place in our home for display. Each year I try to find another nativity set to add to my growing collection. Currently I am up to seven.
One of these years I will add the rest of the outdoor set to the Holy Family.
After dinner we each take a turn to draw the name of the family member we get the opportunity to express our love for this year. You see gift for each other are made from the heart not bought at the store.
Each gift is a treasure that last through the years because of the thought, effort and love that is expressed in this way.
Some time through out the month of December we take the time to go drive around looking at Christmas lights. For me this is one of my favorite activities. I have always loved the lights and the music of the Christmas season.
On Christmas Eve friends and family gather to sing Christmas songs and to have a white elephant gift exchange. I'll never forget the year that there was a couple of pair of maxi pad slippers that found their way into the pile of presents.
Then everyone quiets down for the Christmas Story told from the Bible in Luke chapter1 and chapter 2 After that all the kiddos get rushed off to bed after putting out cookies and milk for Santa.
